Counselling is a confidential safe space where you can come and talk to a trained professional about issues you’re facing in your life - grief, relationships, work, anxiety etc - and we work together to try and help you understand those issues and find ways to help you cope or better the situation. It’s a non-judgemental space where you can share your views, thoughts and feelings, be heard, and gain new perspectives.

Each session is yours, and what you want to get out of counselling is up to you. Whether you want to learn coping mechanisms, feel better, set goals, get unstuck, or just better understand yourself or the situation you’re in - counselling is for you.

In our first session, I will begin by explaining my approach to counselling, we will go over the contract (which I will have sent to you beforehand) to make sure you understand and answer any questions you may have.

Then we will spend the rest of the first session getting to know you, easing any nerves or anxiety you might have about counselling, and understand what brought you to counselling.

The initial consultation is just a 15 minute introductory phone call from me to discuss what brought you to STT counselling to make sure we’re the right fit. We’ll talk about the process to make sure that’s what you’re looking for, and what you’re hoping to get out of it to make sure I’m the right counsellor for you.

Everyone is different! As general practice I contract for 12 sessions, but if we get to session 4 (for example) and you feel like you’re ready to finish, then we will schedule our final session and finish our sessions then. If you feel like you need more than 12 sessions, then we’ll contract for more than 12!

Each session is 50 minutes, but time flies in counselling so I’ll make sure to let you know when we’re nearing the end of each session.

All of our sessions are remote via Google Meet. Keep your eyes peeled for potential in-person options in the future!

The initial consultation is completely free! Both talk and Grief therapy sessions cost £50 (or $100AUD) each. This should be paid at least 24 hours before the session.

You are able to cancel or rearrange with 24 hours notice by emailing me at gmckcounselling@gmail.com. I recommend that we keep a scheduled time and day each week for our sessions, but I know life happens! If you do not let me know with 24 hours notice, you will be charged for the session.
